About

Just out of the workshop is the General Lee pinewood derby car – several months in the making (well maybe just a few weeks, if you don’t count all those months that it sat in grey primer collecting dust on my desk) The car is built out of the pinewood block with additions, and is within the official race rules for width, length, weight etc. And if your wondering yes this car is built to race. – Also check back here often as there is a 1956 Chevy BelAir and a 1970 Ford F100 that are in the works. The plans have been drawn it’s just a matter of building the car/truck in my spare time.

Hands down this is the nicest rendition of a standard full fendered car I have seen! I know what I (no I mean my son) will be doing after SEMA. Gotta post last years car & maybe we can get others to do the same, it’s fun.

There is no doubt about it being fun. I have built a couple for exhibtion races that actually tucked the wheels inside the fenders, however they break the official rules on the wheels, as they are narrowed to clear the fenders. If only the cars could be an 1/8-inch wider. – Keep posted as I have started work on a 56 BelAir and the 1970 F100 that i have in my profile.
